What is Meraki and who is Cireena?

Meraki is pronounced "may-rah-key".

Meraki is a Greek word that means "something done with soul, creativity, or love".

To go a little deeper, according to Google

Meraki is a Modern Greek word that means to do something with passion, creativity, or love. It can be applied to any task, but is usually used to describe creative or artistic tasks. 
Meraki is derived from the Turkish word "Merak" which means "labor of love" or "to do something with pleasure". It literally means "the essence of yourself"
Meraki can be used to describe the state of mind where a person puts their whole heart and soul into their work or an activity. This can result in a sense of fulfillment, joy, and transcendence. 
The section in bold above is why I named my business Meraki by Cireena.  I love creating beautiful things! I get so hyper-focused when creating my jewelry, that I lose all sense of time and space.  I literally put my whole heart and soul into my work and get lost in it.

Who am I?

My name is Cireena Katto.  I am a free-spirited 50 something year old Nomad.  Well, I am nomadic most of the time, but I do have a place to call my own here in Animas, New Mexico where my partner and I can park our RV when we want to stay put for a while.  This is where I have a workshop filled with my trinkets, herbs, and other hobbies.  But we don't stay here year-round. We are often off exploring and living our best lives!  This winter, we may even adventure all the way down to Panama and Costa Rica!

You may notice some magical items in my shop.  I am a spiritual person recovering from religious trauma.  I have gone through many phases in my life, from uber religious, to atheist, to agnostic, to now just spiritual.  I believe we are all immortal souls living lives for who knows how long or how often.  I study Human Design to know more about myself and those I care about deeply, and my life's purpose is to show love to and encourage others to be their own authentic selves, by setting an example myself.

All that to say, I dabble in magic. I believe in energy and intention, and how both can affect the world around us.  Anything in my Magical Items collection was created by me, with only pure intention to bring you love and encouragement.  My magical items are talismans to remind you of your intention, and to share a little of my love and energy with you.

I hope you find something in my shop that speaks to your heart and brings you joy!

Blessings!
